Full-time staff packet (PIR) 2024
Version Details
- Version:
- 1.00
The full-time staff packet is used to report demographic characteristics and work classification data for each person who is a member of staff at a higher education provider. Each full-time staff packet contains:
- demographic data for the member of staff as at the last reference date
- the primary work classification data for the member of staff on the first reference date for the year in which a full-time staff packet was reported for that person.
Scope
Higher education providers are required to report a full-time staff packet for each person who, at the reference date, is:
- an academic member of staff, and
- has an effective substantive appointment, or
- has current duties which require them to undertake full‑time work or fractional full‑time work in either:
- an organisational unit of the provider or
- an independent operation that is a controlled entity.
Data is to be reported for each academic staff member whose duties relate solely to higher education or to both higher education and vocational education and training, with the full‑time equivalence expended in relation to work undertaken in both types of work sector being reported.
Data is not to be reported for members of staff:
- whose duties relate solely to vocational education and training, or
- in any independent operation which is not a controlled entity.
Reporting deadlines
The reference date for the 2024 Staff Collection is 31 March 2024. All full-time staff data for this reference date is to be reported by 28 June 2024.
